I have tried tons of lotions, body butters, creams, dry oils, etc. and I always come back to this lotion. The biggest pro for me is it allows my skin to breathe. It's so lightweight, which makes it great for summer! Other lotions/body butters can make me feel overly sweaty when they act more like a barrier for moisture, but this one absorbs beautifully! It's also incredibly moisturizing, even in the winter! It really helps with the dry patches on my arms. If I apply it before bed, my skin feels amazing the next morning. Absolute favorite.
